Hey Everyone,

So over the past couple of weeks we have mentioned in our status updates and on our twitter that October powder are going on Hiatus,

I'm at a point where I personally(Matt) need to step back from A band situation and take some time to do music for myself ( No I'm not going solo either) but to tune up my skills as a musician and a songwriter ....... i'd like to say closed for "maintainance"

but its been 4 years since Adam & myself start kicking around in this band, and we haven't had much time off (Well Adam did when he quit the band for 9 months hahaha)
But sometimes circumstances in our personal lives take there toll on what you can give to a band aswell. For the last 6 months my time has been entirely consumed by My work & October powder, so another way of looking at it is "long serivce leave"

And aside from the Maintainance We have been playing a show virtally once a week.
and for last couple of months I havent been enjoying myself as much as I use to on stage (Except last night @ Epping was probably one  of the most fun times on stage in 2009 for me) so need to recharge to get that excitement back for the live show.

I could go on how hard it is to be in a band blah blah blah you don't really need know all reason behind my time out,
But let me assure you that it is the best thing for the Sake of October powder,

like I mentioned before some time to myself to work on songwriting will do the world of good for us.
I can't give an exact time frame when it will end, it could be 3-6 months I could turn around in 3 weeks time and say "ah fuck it i miss it too much"
And I also wouldnt rule out Us popping up and doing the Odd show(depending on the amornmity* of it)

And one last but very important piece of info WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP!

So anyway we still be doing OP things from time to time behind the scenes
we'll always be checking this page and our other "social networking" accounts

So from All of us
Stay true stay rock
Matthew,Adam,Mark & William.
